I think this is a health issue of sorts.
I have been playing golf for about 5 years. I started at age 52. I am pretty fit but not a very good golfer. I usually score between 115 and 120 and disintegrate off the tee and for the long fairway shots, often shanking 5-9 shots per nine holes.
Today I was lamenting my golf game when one of my buddies asked if my glasses are no line bi-focals. I said yes. He said "everyone knows you cannot play golf in bi-focals". I had never heard this.
For those forum members who play: What do you think? Is this true? If it is true, should I get glasses with the distance lens only. or should I get a distance prescription for contacts for playing only (I use to wear contacts but stopped when the combo with reading glasses got too cumbersome). I do not want to waste money if it is not true.
Any thoughts? Zman.
